On The Seventh Day of Christmas...

Mariners Church is selling "Give Cards" on their website.

I think it's a really cool idea for stocking stuffers and it will give you

a warm fuzzy feeling inside...fer reals!

You purchase the card and the person you give it to redeems it online and can put it towards these causes:

LITERACY: 85% of all incarcerated juveniles are illiterate. Your gift will reduce the school dropout rate for students in need.

MEDICAL: 60% of all deaths in the world are from a preventable disease. Your gift will provide treatment, medication, medical clinics & wheelchairs for those suffering.

FAMILIES: 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. Your gift will meet urgent needs for families dealing with a crisis.

ORPHANS: 1 in 5 foster kids become homeless after they turn 18. Your gift will help bring healing and hope to these at-risk children and youth.

GOSPEL: 1/3 of the world’s population does not have access to the Gospel. Your gift will help church partners take the Gospel message to unreached people.

Here's the website:
